It's the vinyl.. Strange angle, from the interior, strange shadow, and kind of a macro shot. But it's definitely the vinyl. 2015 fleet flatbed camper.

5000. Technically, 4800 watts. 72v battery. 60A speed controller. Smallest battery I use is 8ah, largest is 30ah. The 8ah is actually pretty small, and I can fit anywhere (Backpack, triangle bag, rear rack, are my options).. And it will last me a full day of mountain biking (though I pedal...

I built my ebikes.. Converted my and my wifes old 2000 era bikes. Used BBSHD motors, and the HV motor controller kit. I get 5000 watts. Can do 50mph. Can go up any mountain. They're amazing. (I don't drive around at 50mph.. It's terrifying. But I can do it). Part of the customization is...

Thank you, everyone.

On the rear of my camper, at the top corners of the pop-up material, are small holes. Directly on the corner crease, near the top where it attaches. The coating material is worn away on both the inside and outside. I'll post a photo.. I've read the threads about patching holes/tears...

I emailed their service@ address a couple days ago... Maybe they'll eventually respond.

My furnace cover is cracking around all the screw holes. I can't find the exact part online. The door/cover has a sticker on the inside, with: 30682 Polar White #40 It has vent holes molded into it.. Besides just the hole for the exhaust, it also has 4 slots for ventilation. I can't find...

You know, I did ask them, "you think you can get this on your lifts", planting the seeds of doubt.. which quickly grew into, nope...

I mentioned I have some Chevrolet dealer clients.. I've had my truck on their lifts.. They first put it on their standard lift, and didn't feel comfortable with it.. We moved it to the alignment lift. Another place has a medium duty truck shop, and I've had it on those lifts, too. But that...

I'm in MO. Not a lot of campers like this, here. This is a little OT, but what do you think about independent neighborhood mechanics? I'm sure anyone can change a front axle.. (I could do it if I had time). But, otoh, I'd want to be sure they reassemble everything to spec, and not just...

Has anyone had trouble getting their truck worked on w/ the camper attached? I need to have some work done for the first time since I bought it a couple years ago. It's a Tacoma w/ Fleet, flatbed. Previous owner had all work done at dealers, including oil changes. They kept up w/ all the other...

KO2's here. I was almost convinced to try some coopers, but they don't make my size in the "XLT" variety, so when I get new tires soon... Sticking w/ the KO2's. (Cooper Discoverer LT's have less aggressive tread.. XLT's are the offroad ones)

I've got a 2012 Tacoma w/ flatbed fleet. I've re-geared to 4.56. I've got plenty of power. Low MPG, but plenty of power. Easily go 80mph on flats. Can maintain 70 on most inclines. But I get 12 MPG at best... Usually right around 10. (But also have a heavy, high flatbed and other...

Rando, Did you design/build that? And the panel for it? If so, are you an EE? The panel looks like modular synth panels I build.... It looks great... I have many questions.. well, since I've already gone OT, I guess it's a little microcontroller of some kind, and you've programmed it to...

My lugs were too tight. My only tool options were an L shaped tacoma tire wrench, or my also basically L shaped socket wrench. I had to stand on it, because I could not budge them. And, rather than loosen, that very off center torque simply twisted my lugs off. Very lucky I was in a town...

They used to take care of my camper, until I moved it away from the west.. (poor camper). Previous owner regularly took it to them for any little issues. When he sold it to me, he took it to them for inspection the day before I flew out to pick it up. They found the solar charging system...

After much reading, I'm sticking w/ the 235's. Not worth new wheels and other changes to move up to 285. And, a lot of off-road people love their 'pizza cutter' wheels, apparently. I drove in deep mud this past weekend without any problems. Been to beaches and sand dunes, and no problems...

The narrow galley cabinet, we just reach in to.. It has all of our plates/bowls/pans/pots. There's a lot of banging and rattling when we have to reach to the back for things, but it works. The larger cabinet and seating area bench, we use plastic bins to keep various groups of things...

It's a 2015 tacoma. Looks like stock is 245/75r16. But this truck is nothing resembling stock. I doubt the previous owner did anything to save money.. (a rich trust fund kid from NY had it built at Mainline Overland.. then lived in Baja cali for a couple years in it). I haven't weighed it...

Ok thanks.. I wish they had XLT in my size.. I'm not sure I want to 'risk' the LT's. But if others have experience w/ them in rough conditions, I'd like to hear.

What are some general differences between tire widths? The person who built my truck originally had 285/75r16's. But had switched to 235/85r16's by the time I got it. I know the previous owner went through some optimizations for improving fuel mileage, and I'm assuming he made this change for...

Did ski3pin mention if he's got the LT or XLT's? I am coming from the BFG KO/2's. Need new tires. I run 235/85R16's.. They don't have the XLT's in that size. I'm a little concerned w/ sand traction. Soft sand has been my biggest challenge, but airing down the KO/2's has always gotten me...

I'm interested to hear how well it works. It will definitely function as a wind break and keep the hot sun off the sides. In the summer, I think the shade would be an incredible help. My observations of insulation though, like if you're hoping to get a good R value from the air gap, has made...

Wow, they've completely changed the plumbing from what I have in my 2015 fleet. I'm wrapping my pipes with 12v heat tape, to solve this problem. You could likely do that as well, around that distribution piece. I'm just doing manual control for now, but it would be easy to wire it to a...

Like an easy to set up version of this?
